PLEASANT PROPERTY FOR REM.

/
We invite attention to the advertise,
ment of Mr.. Charles E. Porter of Lis co.
.aasEe 5s.a4 -
the irst time with authority offered for
rent, for the sum of six hund!e1 dollars
for the year, furnished. By the exercise
of thought and taste u barren mountain
side has been converted into sites for
lovely homes IL commands a view of
all the mountains which encircle Ashe-
vile, and ovegiouks the entire plateau.
Wewould not all special attention to the
advertisement fttis desirable property,
but for the notice that has been publish
ed relative to 1t to the injury Of Asheviile
and injustice done to public spirited
individual The property, in no condi-
ton to rent, without consultation with
DR.. Porter, was offered to Mr.. Jesse Grant.
The latter was telegraphed that Mr.. Grant
wished to rent it, after it was furnished,
and to give it up on the first Of July. DR..
Porter, not wishing to say the house vas
not then on the market, fearing that it
might be thought he did not wish to rent
to Gen. Grants son, telegraphed he would
rent it for 81 900 for six months, with
privilege of the whole year for the same
money. He did not expect Mr.. Grant to
take it. but thought if he wanted 1t at
that price and did take it, it would CON-
pensate him for the expense and incon-
venience to which he would be subjected.
We say this much, because of the fact
that quite q wide circulation has been
given to the statement that Jesse Grant
was forced 10 leave because of DIR. Por-
ter's action.

The STATE CATTLE COMMISSION.

The commission held a meeting in Bur-
lington, Monday, to consider applica-
lions for permission to drive cattle from
New York to this State, that they might
be pastured here. such permission
was refused. The following
ment made by the commission early
this month is therefore still in full
force:
There being some misapprehension in
the public mind as to the present status
of cattle disease i'm Vermont, the under
signed desire to say that the quarantine
of Bennington county is still in force as
against the rest of the State of Yer
mont; that the quarantine against New
York is still in force; that the quar-
antine of Massachusetts against Yer
mont is removed with the exception
of Bennington county. We have found
a malignant form of anthrax III Ben
nington, and have slaughtered siXty-siX
head belonging to II. y. Ewell of that
town. With this we hope to eXterminate
ihe disease, believing that heroic treat
ment in the first outbreak will alone ac-
complish the same. We congratulate the
people of Vermont hat thus far no trace
of pleuro-pneumonia has been found.
We feel it to be our duty to rigidly en-
force the present quarantine against
New York and dare not grant permission
for the bringing of cattle from that state
to Vermont for pasturage or any other
purpose.
We earnestly request most hearty CO.
operation in all our efforts to prevent
such a dire calamity as might be thrust
upon us in the event of Il general spread
of pleuro-pneumonia or any other con-
tagious disease among our herds.

A QUESTION OF RECORDS.

Editor Of RegjStr-In your issue of the
10th Mr.. Douglas is still declining to an
swer any more of my communications.
but he evidently wants to have the last
word, and a. he has run out of argu-
ment, facts and figures, he has taken up
his chronic refrain and howls false
hood a term with which he seems to be
familiar. He would like to have your
readers believe that | am not his peer in
truth and appeals to his record. | will
challenge Mr.. Douglas to compare the
record of his reputation in his own town
with mine in a town where | have lived
nearly 40 years. and was in active bust
ness % years, and | would have no fear
of the results.
| have given facts and figures and Mr..
Douglas has not and annot successfully
refute them. OF course the gentleman
to whom | referred can say that if there
was any loss it was his fault, as the fault
consists in his sending his milk to Mr..
Douglas machine at all.
| don't think the Cooley system is as
near its end as Mr.. Douglas hopes. At
the great dairy and stock show held in
New York from the 9th to the l4th of
this month, butter made by the Cooley
system took thirteen u of twenty-One
premiums, and nearly all the best pre-
miums.
When Mr.. Douglas has any arguments
in favor of his machine | would be pleas
ed to have an opportunity to review
them, but | don't wish to fill your col
umns with any more personalities. for |
know your readers are not interested in
that kind of reading.
Yours truly,
j.. W. DORSEY.

ROAD REPAIRING.

Editor Of Register Having within a
few weeks seen a number of complaints
about the condition of the highways in
many places. | would say | do not know
of any one thing that will make roads
more uncomfortable than to have them
spread over more or less with rolling or
small stones. They are Il great incon-
venience to travelling and very unsafe to
the horse and wagon. to say nothing of
life and limb. We used to have a law on
our statutes that told the highway sur
veyor to go himself. or cause some one.
once every month and remove all rolling
or loose stones from the highways. But
our laws are now changed so often and
not lived up to in so many cases that it
doesn't seem to matter whether we haVe
a law or not. | fail rs yet to see where
the benefit comes in in having two or
three men supercedc the old highway
system. In my opinion ii j. the few vino
rule to the destruction of the many.
With as many fast horses as we have
now-a-days | should think some one
would move in that direction. Right in
the streets of Middlebury village you
will see more or less of this evil. | for
one am willing to pay my tax twice oven
to have this evil rcmedied. y rutty road
j. nothing in comparison. | have known
horses ruined for life by stepping on II

v PER CENT
INVESTMENTS.

We are constantly receiving from our West.
ern Office per cent. Mortgages on Improved
Real Estate, and have always in stock from
$50, 600 to $50, 900 of completed loans in various
mounts from $500 to $4,000.
These mortgages are especially desirable
for Eastern investors, because the property by
which they are secured Is always inspected by
IA member OF this firm, rs well rs by salaried
examiners; because the property lies in the
old counties OF northwestern Missouri, eastern
Kansas and eastern Nebraska, where prices
are not affected by the unhealthy ''booms"
which initiate values in the new country far
Their West; and because the soil in the counties
where these loans are negotiated has been
tested by many years OF successful cultiva-
ton.
Principal and interest are paid by check
from this Office, promptly at maturity.

OBITU ARY.
HON. y LANE.

1t is seldom that II community Is so suddenly
overwhelmed with surprise and sadness as
was this, when, on the afternoon OF the 10Th
inst, the tidings spread swiftly through it
that Judge Henry Lane was dead. Hundreds
had seen him within "A few hours, and to them
all he had appeared in his full vigor, and in
even more than his usual hopetulness and
checrmlness of spirits. To many OF them the
startling news seemed incredible. One and
another said, "There must be some mistake
about it," But no. He had left his mornings
work halt done to seek relief from an acute
attack ot'rheumatic pain that had been trou-
bling him for some months. Medical aid
eased him "A little, and his family all thought
that the worst was over, but before , O'clock
the fatal parOXysm had stopped forever the
a great vacancy spread and deepened.
IL has fallen to the lot of few men, whose ed.
ucational advantages have been limited, as
Henry Lanes were, to the district school and
life has been given with more than ordinary
devotion and efficacy to the pursuits OF agri-
culture in "A quiet town, to fill ably so many,
